He was anything but against Chicago on Thursday night at Soldier Field. The second-round pick caught four passes in the first three possessions of the game. Lee finished with 27 yards and scored on a 6-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Chad Henne.

"I was excited to get in the end zone for the first time," Lee said. "I just need to get in there a lot more now."

Lee wasn't targeted on 16 snaps against the Buccaneers, but was clearly a big part of offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch's plan against the Bears.

Lee caught a 10-yard pass on third-and-4 on the third play of the game to keep the drive going. He made an 8-yard reception later in the drive to the Chicago 28.

"Last night gave me a lot of confidence," Lee said. "My main focus is wanting the team to understand I'm reliable. Chad coming to me early and me catching the ball helps build that trust. I want them to come to me in tough times."

Lee struggled against Tampa Bay because he didn't know his responsibility on a couple of plays. The week of practice appeared to help him against Chicago.

"My biggest improvement was in my assignments," Lee said. "Not being out there fluttered and anxious. I didn't have to think about things too much. I didn't worry about getting open. That was the biggest thing."
